5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such
as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temper-
ature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).
■
When a tire is replaced with a spare tire (vehicles with a tire pres-
sure warning system)
The spare tire is also equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter. The tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire inflation
pressure of the spare tire is low. If a tire goes flat, even though the flat
tire is replaced with the spare tire, the tire pressure warning light does
not turn off. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the
proper tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will turn off
after a few minutes.
■
If the tire pressure warning system is inoperative
The tire pressure warning system will be disabled in the following condi-
tions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.)
●
If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters are used.
●
If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
●
If the tire inflation pressure is 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm
higher.
The tire pressure warning system may be disabled in the following condi-
tions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.)
●
If electronic devices or facilities using similar radio wave frequencies
are nearby.
If a radio set at similar frequencies is in use in the vehicle.
●
●
If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
●
If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, in particular around the
wheels or wheel housings.
